The course will deal with the structure and process of financing transactions. In addition to presenting different ways of structuring financing transactions, the main focus of the course will be to present the main commercial aspects of financings and related risk mitigation measures from a bank’s perspective. Good knowledge of contract and general principles of company law is necessary to be able to follow the course, since the course builds and expands on basic knowledge in those areas.
